Tomáš HalÃk provides a poignant reflection on Christianity’s
crisis of faith while offering a vision of the self-reflection,
love, and growth necessary for the church to overcome and build a
deeper and more mature faith. In a world transformed by
secularization and globalization, torn by stark political and
social distrust, and ravaged by war and pandemic, Christians are
facing a crisis of faith. In The Afternoon of Christianity, Tomáš
HalÃk reflects on past and present challenges confronting
Christian faith, drawing together strands from the Bible, historic
Christian theology, philosophy, psychology, and classic literature.
In the process, he reveals the current crisis as a crossroads: one
road leads toward division and irrelevance, while the other
provides the opportunity to develop a deeper, more credible, and
mature form of church, theology, and spirituality—an afternoon
epoch of Christianity. The fruitfulness of the reform and the
future vibrancy of the Church depends on a reconnection with the
deep spiritual and existential dimension of faith. HalÃk argues
that Christianity must transcend itself, giving up isolation and
self-centeredness in favor of loving dialogue with people of
different cultures, languages, and religions. The search for God in
all things frees Christian life from self-absorption and leads
toward universal fraternity, one of Pope Francis’s key themes.
This renewal of faith can help the human family move beyond a clash
of civilizations to a culture of communication, sharing, and
respect for diversity.
